GRBN to Launch “Invest in Insights Handbook 2.0” with Expanded Focus on Building the Business Impact of Insights

The Global Research Business Network (GRBN) today announces that work has begun on the creation of the second edition of the Invest in Insights Handbook1.

Since its release, many Insights leaders have leveraged version 1.0 the Invest in Insights Handbook to measure their ROI and demonstrate their value to the business. Leaning on these experiences, version 2.0 will include new examples of Insights ROI measurement, as well as new advice on how Insights leaders can successfully implement their own ROI measurement program.

Further, the scope of the Invest in Insights Handbook 2.0 will be expanded to encompass new research and guidance on how leaders can systematically build the business impact of the Insights function.

Over the coming months, GRBN, together with its partners, will be conducting research into how the Insights function is evolving to become more business-impact focused and an even greater driver of competitive advantage, and the key data and insights will be included in version 2.0.

Andrew Cannon, GRBN’s Executive Director, notes: “Whilst version 1.0 has enabled Insights leaders to embark on the ROI of Insights measurement, this focus on building the business impact of Insights will encourage even more to use the framework and not only measure the ROI of Insights, but actually increase the impact their teams are having on the business.”

GRBN is proud to have Gongos, Inc. and RTi Research as the first Gold Sponsors of the Handbook, and Cambiar and Olivetree Insights as the first Bronze Sponsors.

David Rothstein, CEO at RTi Research says: “For Insights leaders, measuring and understanding Insights’ business impact is critical to continuing the ascension from having a seat at the table to becoming a leadership force at the table.”

GRBN has set up a website, roiofinsights.com, dedicated to Insights ROI measurement. Version 1.0 of the GRBN Invest in Insights Handbook, as well as related resources, can be accessed from this knowledge hub.
